Crazy
Relient K Lyrics

I remember when
The singer begins by recalling a past memory; a flashback.

I remember I remember when I lost my mind
The singer remembers a time when they felt like they were going crazy, out of control and lost.

There was something so pleasant about that place
Despite feeling like they were losing their mind, the singer found a sense of comfort in that place, possibly because no one else was around to judge them.

Even your emotions had an echo in so much space

Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

Does that make me crazy?

But think twice, that's my only advice
The singer cautions the listener to consider their actions carefully and not end up like the singer, possibly regretful or unsure of themselves.

Come on now, who do you
The singer confronts the listener with a rhetorical question - who are they, really?

Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Repeating the question emphasizes its importance and invites the listener to reflect on their identity and self-awareness.

Ha ha ha, bless your soul
The artist seems to chuckle at the idea of someone else having it all figured out and offers them a kind blessing.

You really think you're in control

My heroes had the heart

Maybe we're crazy, probably
